Universities should plan for a future of global collaboration based on a critical analysis of a range of facts rather than perceived ideas and one-dimensional statistics. The long view means planning beyond next year’s incoming class of international students.

Decades after the advent of online learning in higher education, the revolution its advocates had foretold has yet to occur. As Richard Garrett writes in a new report, champions of the internet thought it could “transform educational access, quality and cost”. But it hasn’t.
